And those have been used in this case, including links to the relevant parts of the plan of management.

But I also agree with kieranl that visually this isn't anywhere near enough. To continue picking on TheCrag for a moment (which is a bit unfair, given that I think Simon & Brendan have done an amazing job), I'd prefer it if every time someone navigated to a banned / illegal / legally dubious crag page, the page background changed colour, there was some kind of semi-transparent "CLIMBING HERE IS ILLEGAL!" overlay, and a 120dB klaxon goes off until they navigate away.

Just as most climbers don't read plans of management, most climbers aren't going to pore over the fine print in guidebooks, and online guidebooks have a great opportunity to unavoidably ram access information down climbers' throats.
